Transitional Housing – giving individuals and families a “leg up”. 70% of graduates become permanently housed and self-sufficient.
Recovery – Staff and volunteers who interact with homeless in an effort to help them become ready for true recovery from addiction leading to homelessness. Men and women with children are enrolled in separate programs.

Same Kind of Different As Me Foundation (SKODM Foundation)
“The Same Kind of Different As Me Foundation is the ‘911’ for rescue missions who serve those experiencing homelessness.” – Ron Hall, author, screenwriter and man who lived the story
Their mission is to raise money, goods and services for organizations that serve the homeless, abused, addicted and hungry.
“The foundation will use the funds at donor designation. So, if donors would like us to provide Blessing Bags to those experiencing homelessness in Portland, great!” ~ Mark P. Fisher, Same Kind of Different as Me (Paramount / Pure Flix)
